Appendix A - Other IP Setup Methods
Important!
As an alternative to the ARP command (as described on page 11), you can set the IP address
for your AXIS 250S using any of the following methods - as appropriate for your network
operating system:
Notes: • Make sure the AXIS 250S is powered up and connected to the network.
• Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator before installing your
AXIS 250S.
• Although no special privileges are required for Windows XP (Home), you will need
Administrator privileges for Windows 2000 and XP (Professional). UNIX systems require
Root privileges.
• Ethernet Address: The AXIS 250S is pre-configured with a unique MAC/Ethernet Address
based upon the serial number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial
number typically follows the format 00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You need this MAC/Ethernet
address to complete the installation.
The AXIS 250S was developed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer (5.5 or higher) running on Win-
dows XP or 2000. Windows Millennium is not supported, but the video stream may still be available.
Method Network OS Refer to...
AXIS IP Installer (requires BOOTP or DHCP to
be enabled in the AXIS 250S’s TCP/IP settings)
Windows The AXIS IP Installer, on page 38.
DHCP (disabled by default) All Automatic IP Configuration, on page 32.
BOOTP (enabled by default)
Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this
method operates over the entire network. A
request to an active daemon initiates a search of
the boot table to find an entry matching the
unit’s Ethernet address. The daemon downloads
the IP address to the device if a match is found.
